Chapter 178: Cold-blooded Deal
In the deadly silence that settled over the underground arena after the Spell had spoken its last sentence, Sunny stared motionlessly at the flakes of dust swirling in the air.
’...An Echo?’
He was now in possession of a new Echo.
A human Echo.
Of course, it was only logical that an Awakened could leave one behind. Sunny had received his first-ever Memory after killing a human, after all, and those were not too different. However, somehow, he had never considered commanding an Echo left behind by a dead man. One that he had killed with his own two hands, no less.
Wasn’t it a little bit too ghastly?
He imagined the soulless, empty copy of Kurt staring at him with lifeless eyes, and shivered a little.
Using the indifferent mask on his face to cover up his discomfort, Sunny grabbed the corpse’s leg as he dragged the dead man to the edge of the arena. With a single powerful leap, he landed on a disclosed, private balcony, one that only contained a single Saint along with a few handmaidens.
The young girls stared at Sunny in fear as he dragged Kurt towards Constance, who was completely unbothered as she wore a satisfied smile on her beautiful face while seated on a cushioned chair. Kurt’s mangled head smeared blood on the floor, creating a bloody trail with each step Sunny took.
Once Sunny was a respectable distance from Constance, he gave her a courteous bow.
"I must apologize for the mess. He was more fragile than I expected."
